More about the book
The lives of Roy and Zhores Medvedev, identical twins, offer a compelling glimpse into a century of Soviet history, from Stalin's regime to Putin's leadership. Renowned for their groundbreaking research on Stalinism, they emerged as prominent dissidents while maintaining a complex loyalty to Soviet power. Their experiences include psychiatric confinement, KGB interrogations, and collaboration with Western media, alongside contentious relationships with other dissidents. In the post-Soviet landscape, their controversial support for authoritarianism adds depth to their narrative of dissent and survival.
